So
I illustrated Gravity's Rainbow--
nobody asked me to, but I did it anyway. Most of the pictures are drawings--
ink on whatever paper was lying around, but there are also paintings (acrylic),
photos I took, and experimental photographic processes. I tried to illustrate
the passages as literally as possible-- if the book says there was a green
Spitfire, I drew a green Spitfire. Mostly, I tried to make a series of
pictures as dense, intricate, and rich as the prose in the book. The entire
project was shown in the Whitney Museum's 2004 Biennial Exhibition of
Contemporary Art and is now in the permanent collection of the Walker
Art Center in Minneapolis.
